if you are honest and upright and believe that the cases being foisted against you are baseless and are being filed only to cause disrepute to you, file the quash petition in the High Court, and also file defamation cases against your bosses who are instigating and filing these false cases against you, don't let them walk away scot free.

This is a misuse of the process of law. The HC should come to your rescue if there is no iota of evidence to prove your guilt. Engage a good lawyer and move the HC.

1. Normally quash petition is not entertained by Kolkata High Court before Charge Sheet is filed,

2. You shall have to challenge the charge sheet and prove it wrong while arguing for quashing the FIR,

3. So, it will be prudent on your part to wait for the charge sheet to be filed by the police,

4. Develop good rapport with the IO for getting favourable charge sheet/report.

This is a case of avenging and cornering and victimising sincere and honest employees.

Well as you aid that the fir was registered based on false and foisted complaint, your approach to quash the same before high court is a right decision.

You may proceed with the proposed quash case based on the merits in your side and can plead that this is a malicious prosecution without any base or evidence to prove their charges against you.

You can also plead that the so called temporary connections issue were already closed during January but this complaint was given based on a false information happened during June when there was no temporary connections given at that time.

In my opinion you have bright chances to get the fir quashed and even otherwise, if the case is challenged in the trial court, you may get it dismissed or acquitted.

1) your lawyers have gone through charge sheet

2) after going through charge sheet they have advised you against moving HC for quashing

3) contest the case on merits before trial court

4) in the alternative take second opinionfrom senior lawyer and then decide

The evidences in your side as well as the merits on your side which you strongly rely upon should support your quash case if projected properly before high court. Let there by 15 or more allegations. There should be a counter for each and every allegation with the support of evidences either by documents or circumstantial.

If your this lawyer is not seem to be proper enough you may change another lawyer who will be more competent enough to handle this case.

You have a very good case to defend and get acquittal if you challenge it in the trial court even if your quash petition is dismissed by the high court.

There is no strict rule that HC should not grant indulgence to the accused if the chargesheet has not been filed. Some judges quash the matters even at pre-chargesheet stage whereas others are loath to do so unless the chargesheet is on record. Nobody can tell beforehand what will be the view of the High Court on your case as the facts and circumstances of every case are different.

1. It is the presumption of your local lawyers who practice at the local High Court. If you can detect serious anomalies in the said charge sheet, quash petition can be tried before the High Court.,

2. Since there are 15 allegations, the case becomes little difficult but can be tried to be quashed,

3. You can try quashing the FIR by filing a petition before the High Court.
